Adventures of a GoodMan is the graphic novel of my life and the next chapter is still being written.

Here are 4 good places to start your journey.

My family is my WHY. To spend more time with them, I created my dream lifestyle. I’ve been working online from home or other remote locations for 15 years. Before covid, I would always mention that in my sales calls. “I run my own business and work from home so I can be there with my kids as they grow up.” In the beginning, it was true. My lifestyle and growing digital marketing agency allowed me to be with Bodhi daily for his first few years. However, as the stresses of running an agency grew, my days began to look more like a 9-5 (plus a late night shift) than the life of freedom I was hoping for. Since Luna was born in 2018, we have been blessed with 20 hours a week of live-in child care. Between Carrie being a full time mom and Yesenia helping give Carrie some time for herself, I got to galavant around town and live the digital nomad lifestyle in my own backyard. I had workspaces in downtown Santa Cruz and up in the mountains. A few go-to coffee shops in Scott’s Valley. It was fun … but I wasn’t seeing my family. Bodhi and Luna were being raised by someone else. By a 3rd party. That all changed this month. After two years of living with us, Yesenia moved out. Carrie and I are in a new business together, and she needs at least 3 hours a day to work on her own stuff. Without Yesenia, that means if Carrie’s not on, then I am What an incredible gift!!! For years, Carrie and Yesenia gifted me a lifestyle. The time I had to myself fueled my professional growth. It got me to the point where I’m ready to take a bold new step in life. To step into my next-level self and fully embody Greg 4.0. To put my biz on autopilot and focus on my WHY. I get to go back to being Dad. To spending quality time with Bodhi and Luna. To going on outings and getting dirty. To being present and not thinking about my lists. To see all the little moments - the awe, wonder, and joy. The tears, the scrapes, the complete refusals. The explorations, the car rides, the snacks. These are all the things I’ve been missing. These are what Carrie and Yesenia got to see every day. These are the things I’m grateful to be seeing now. Plus, all these outings give me

Coworking spaces are a staple of the Digital Nomad lifestyle These shared office spaces are a place for people to focus and get work done - away from the distractions of “outside.” Today, I’m at Satellite Felton. It’s a special day, because the power is out in nearby Bonny Soon. That means lots of locals need a place that has internet so they can get their job done. The place is buzzing (as is the generator). I love being here on days like this. I would stay all day … except I forgot my power cord! 🔌 At least I’ll get a few hours in. Love this place! Love this life! Love you all! QUESTION — have you ever worked in a coworking space?

How would your life change if you never needed to worry about money again? They call it the “millionaire mindset.” Here’s mine. A life without worrying about paying bills. A life of infinite possibility A life of financial freedom A life of travel, adventure, and fun A life of giving back at every step A life of making an impact Anyway, that’s me. What about you? What would you do with some insane amount of money that you can’t even fathom right now?

Each day’s 45-minute session will cover topics like:

»» changing your mindset
»» releasing limiting beliefs
»» rewriting your money story
»» creating your dream business

I’m going to be taking the mastermind too and will create a group chat for everyone who takes it with me.

That way, we can all share our thoughts and action steps, hold each other accountable, and create a community of likeminded people.

The 2-day event starts on tomorrow - Sunday, January 17.

Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll send you all the details.

Hope to do this with you!

Love,
Greg ...

Do you actually read long Facebook posts? I like to write a lot. I like to tell stories in my Facebook and Instagram posts. The stories are a daily narrative. My life‘s journey as a father, husband, businessman, photographic storyteller, dreamer, and artist. But does anyone read them? All the marketing gurus tell you to write long posts. I tell the same thing to my clients. To merge their personal brands with their business brands. To share their authentic story, share their passion, and create the life of their dreams. The entire online marketing industry revolves around writing long posts. But again, do you read them? Does anyone? I sure don’t!!! I skim a lot of long posts. Occasionally, I read every word. I look for something that catches my eye. I like, but not love, posts with emojis! 🤣🤣 How about you? Did you read all this? Type "I READ THE WHOLE THING" into the comments.

OK. Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. •• What’s up with Greg? Why is he doing gratitude journals and YES! videos and posting all the time on Facebook? You’ve probably heard me talk about the online learning platform that Carrie and I joined a few months ago. It’s all because of that. The video trainings and the community behind everything you see on Facebook. Every time I watch something, it fuels my desire (and gives me new tools) to become a better person. I’m learning how to take care of my self so I can be of service to my family - and to the world. At the same time, I’m learning how to create secondary income streams that mesh perfectly with all my passions. Every day, I wake up ridiculously inspired about life, the future, and my business. Now, the coaches, gurus, and business experts behind the platform are putting on a two day masterclass. They will share a “sampler platter” of powerful tools, practices, life-hacks, and resources for bringing this same joy and excitement into your life. For creating financial freedom and a legacy for your family. For being the best version of yourself possible during our short time on this beautiful earth. LET’S DO IT TOGETHER! 🤝 It’s so easy to get excited about the lessons in the masterclass. The tough part is keeping the momentum going after. That’s where community comes in. Let me know if you want to join. I’ll create a private group chat for us all to go through our process together. We will inspire each other to grow in every aspect of our lives. Who’s with me? 🌈 INTRIGUED? Type YES! — or FREEDOM in the comments and send you the deets :) Love, Greg

We make millions of choices every day of our lives. How many of them actually propel our life forward? It starts so early in the morning. Do I keep sleeping? Or, do I get up, do some self-care, and get breakfast ready for the family before they rise? When Carrie, Luna, and Bodhi leave for the day, do I plopped right down at my computer or do I take some time to set my intentions, visualize my long-term goals, meditate, go for a walk, get my heart pumping, and take care of myself? For so long, I have been choosing the life of ease. Sleeping in as long as possible. Staying on the couch. 14 hour days in front of the computer. My body has been a secondary afterthought. So has my mind. I’ve shared before about my deepest fears about being seen as a fake, fraud, imposter, and phony. Every day, I go on FB and talk about how to live the life of your dreams. But, I’m faltering on my own homefront. This morning I said fuck it! I’m changing everything. It’s currently 10:48am PST I have already meditated, Set intentions, Booked a phone call with a therapist, Signed up for an epic two day master class that my online learning platform is hosting, I just got back from a brisk walk through the forest that surrounds my home (as seen in these photos) And now, finally, it’s time to work on my business. I can’t wait to see what else gets done today! WHAT ABOUT YOU?! 🙏🌈 What’s one thing you can do differently today that will make a positive impact on your life? It doesn’t have to be big. The smallest pebble can create an epic wave. Would love to know in the comments. ❤️👇
